MalwareTech reveals autonomous zero-day exploitation pipeline built on LLMs

Security researcher MalwareTech pushed back on claims he judges open-weight LLMs without having used them: after being added to Anthropic's CVP, his first move was building an autonomous zero-day exploitation pipeline, later backported to open-weight models because frontier model token costs were insane.
He acknowledges LLMs can find zero-day exploits with the right steering or harness; the dispute is over how capable they actually are. Cryptographer Matthew Green shared the thread while asking whether anyone believes Marcus has actually tried using GLM to find vulnerabilities.
